Frequently Asked Questions
Which yoyo trick should I start with?
The absolute foundation is Sleeper – a straight throw where the yoyo spins at the end of the string. Almost all other tricks are built on this basic skill.
Do I need to learn all the tricks from the list?
No. We recommend learning them step by step, but if a trick feels too difficult, feel free to skip it and come back to it later.
Will a classic wooden yoyo be enough?
It is enough for the very basics, but a modern responsive yoyo with a bearing spins longer and makes learning tricks much easier.
How much does a beginner yoyo cost?
A quality beginner yoyo starts at around €15. We will be happy to help you choose the right one directly in our store.
What age can you start yoyoing?
You can start learning from around 6 years old. There is no upper age limit – both children and adults enjoy yoyoing.
